I'm the owner of Outer Order Inner Peace Organizing, a Philadelphia-based team of professional organizers. We work with individuals and families with a wide variety of reasons for seeking out organizing experts to clear clutter, create organization systems, and make space for the new.

As a passion project, I maintain a website about OCD awareness and how OCD coping tools empower everyone to have a better relationship with their minds, Befriend Your "Glowing" OCD Brain.
